MartinMunich - I couln`t agree more with you- unfortunatly.
I am relieved that I am not the only one who is disappointed
Well - acctually I was expecting to feel like that before the concert
The quite empty stadion was dissaponting
and I had the bad luck, that the people around me didn t even clap, some leaved before LCMM (Block 1)!
I missed passion and fun in Celine`s performance , she didnt show a lot of ambition to get in touch with the audiance
there were technical problems as well - the video screens weren't synch to the sound, she obvioursly used playback, which is really an inpertinance considering the ticket price!
The greatest moment for me was "My love" and I enjoyed "Man's world"
So I try to keep the memories of the overwhelming, fabulous 1999 concert in Munich

that´s how I felt as well - I was really so ready to have a great time, and I was still screaming like mad, had no voice anymore yesterday and we were up on our feet almost the whole concert. still had a good time, but the good feeling was gone pretty fast - like you compare a mcdonalds-menu to a 5-star-menu - and celine felt like the burger this time.
people were irritaded by this extremely simple stage setup - a woman behind us said that this stage reminds her of the rewe-fest (which is a family thing from a supermarket chain).
the show was lacking any sort of concept, looked rushed together - the sound was terrible as well.
and you can tell the she was not into this old songs anymore - and who could blame her?
other artist are reinventing themselves, give their old songs a new sound or a new arrangement - but she is lip-synching to a 10-year-old-playback from "my heart will go on" - of course she is bored to death.
she is still a true professional - and she wants to deliver a good show nontheless, but you can tell that the magic is gone.
she is a hard worker, and it felt like work - not like fun.
i hate to always quote the concert from ten years ago - but this is like day and night.
this "rock"-approach is so lame and does not fit her at all - the more elegant sound of "eyes on me" was much better for her (didn´t like that song on the record though).
i think that her management made a lot of wrong decisions lately - rushing this tour together, booking too many, too large venues and delivering a cheap uninspired concert.
i think she lost more fans with this tour than she won. unfortunatelly (papers today report of 14,500 visitors)
the magic is gone - i hope she finds her way back after having a well deserved break.
Are you critics or something???????Please calm down!!!!!!!Will you ever see Celine again?I don't care what you say!The whole show was amazing!I was right in front of Celine with many many many people sing with her and dancing!So much energy!!!So much power!!!I loved that!!!!The most people was crying and the rest clapping!Did you cry Martin?Or you were so hard there too???????Please don't make this dissapointing critics anymore!I enjoyed this two hours with my friends! and some other members of this forum.So don't make reviews that they prove me ike a lier.We don't care about your critics otr the burgers and mc donalds you are talking about.THis moment with all th fans around her crying and singing was incredible and scary!If you want a show without people crying,feeling warm,singing etc go to Madonna.Celine is a sensitive artist!
Oh my god - and you tell me to calm down?
I know its always not so nice to read something negative if you enjoyed yourself so much - and I am happy for you that you did, I really am.
And believe me, it is not my intention do destroy any memories or good feelings you have about the concert.
I did have great 2 hours as well - as I said, I was screaming like mad.
But the whole Celine-thing is not my religion - so please allow me to have some critical thoughts as well.
I love her, I really do (still), but I think the show was just not that great. She had amazing moments and as I said earlier, I would pay the 180 EUR again just to hear that amazing "My love" again. Magical.
And again - I am not critizising her as a person or an artist.
I am critizising the whole production - "we will rock you" was strange, carefully said.
And I think I am just overdone with the old arrangements of the songs - heared them too often, and to me it seemed that she was not into those as much as she was into the new songs.
The stage was nothing but cheap.
And it to me it felt like - a lot of people also posted that opinion in other threads - that is what "i do my job and get outta here as fast as i can" -thing.
It just didn´t work that well for me.
But - don´t kill me - it is just my opinion.
Also, a lot of people I talked to afterwards shared my thoughts.
By the way, critics in the local newspapers are out now - very mixed.
Every paper mentions the fact that stadium was almost empty.
One wrote that she is doing her shows like an entertainment robot and that ít felt like she just finished an afternoon show and rushed back to the stage to do the evening show.
I don´t care much about critics but I kinda felt that way too.
